Rejected petition Please re-open the British embassy in Tehran-Iran.

We, as Iranian-British citizens think it is about the time to act on behalf of all the lawful citizens of Iran, who happen to be our family members to ask the British government to consider our rights.

More details

On 29th of November 2011, the British government decided to close the British embassy in Tehran due to a mob action of a little number of Iranian citizens. It has been about five years that Iranian people struggle to get visa or visit UK embassy.
